how to get filename from fullpath

[indu yeturu]

Hi, how to get the filename, when I have fullpath ..

You can construct the java.lang.File object and call the method getName() to get the file name.

Use the path separator, which you can find from the System#getProperties() and System#getProperty(java.lang.String) methods, and you may find more detail of in the File class. Use that as a delimiter to split the path String. This File method might also help; I am not sure.

ok thank you, i got this with "//" seperator. Thanks for considering....

[Campbell Ritchie]

How did you get it to work with "//"?

[indu yeturu]

 String fullpath = request.getParameter("path");
		  String filename = fullpath.substring(fullpath.lastIndexOf("\\")+1);   

please let me know, if this code is wrong ....

Yes, it's wrong. It will only work on systems where file path entries are separated by backslashes. And the version with slashes instead, will only work on systems where file path entries are separated by slashes. So, both are unreliable. However...

This is the right way to do it.
